Labor Endgame

Asks yes or no question.......says its not a yes or no question.

Is work good in and of itself or is it just a necessity with no moral implication?

It is not a yes/no question. Perhaps you are confused on what the question is. Please read again and answer. Notice the "OR" in there.

Good and bad are subjective, they are not simple yes and no answers.

Exactly, that's why I want everyone's subjective opinion.

If you are a lazy person receiving benefits for free, you will think it is a good or great thing to not work.
If you are the one paying for others to not have to work, you probably won't think it is a good thing, as they are getting a free ride on your dime.
Perspective changes subjective opinions, and nothing in life is free. What one person gets for free, another has to pay for.

The whole purpose of my scenario is that everyone is getting a free ride on the basics. No one is paying for anyone else. Work is only required if you want more than the basics.

If your utopia only has food, water, and shelter provided, then prison is even better than utopia, as it gives you indoor plumbing and cable tv for free also.

Don't you think the inability to leave your very small room except when someone else allows you, lack of privacy, threat of rape/beating, and inability to spend much time with family/loved ones is a pretty big down side?
